Will we do the same, or give in to Big Business? – We already know that plastic baby bottles are dangerous for boys. Now Canada says that the same kind of plastic (known as BPA) is poisonous for everyone!

In April 16th edition of the New York Times, Ian Austen reports that the Canadian government is about to declare as toxic a chemical widely used in plastics that we use for eating and drinking. BPA is used in plastics for baby bottles, drink and food containers and the linings of food cans.

One of the biggest problems facing the world in the future will be getting enough water. If we could just think of a way to remove the salt from the ocean, we would be surrounded by drinking water. Lots of scientists would like to figure out how to do just that. Now the inventor of the Segway says he has invented a machine that can take nearly any source of moisture?even ocean water, urine or sewage?and quickly turn it into safe drinking water.

Scientists in Australia, which despite being surrounded by water, is having a major drought, want to use solar power to run desalinization plants, in order to avoid the additional problem of greenhouse gas emissions, since many of these are given off by power plants that create electricity.

?and a UFO crash in Alabama? – Fake UFO video is so easy to create that there is a temptation to dismiss all of it, however this video from Holland has the appearance of authenticity. There is no indication of any tampering with the image, and it is time consuming, although not difficult, to create a graphic with the shaking movement that is revealed in this video. This may be a real video. If so, it is among the best made in the past few years. Unknowncountry.com no longer takes a position regarding UFO videos, because of the ease with which hoaxes can be created and the near impossibility of detecting them. We do publish videos that may possibly be authentic, such as this one. To view the video and learn more, click here.

Three years ago, we reported that astronauts may eventually create fake meat in space. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) thinks this is a wonderful idea, and is even offering a million dollar prize to the person who does a creditable job of it. Let’s just hope they don’t use vegetarians as judges!

PETA figures that this will be easier than trying to convince everyone to become vegetarians. A panel of 10 judges will evaluate the “in vitro” fried “chicken” to determine which researcher wins the prize.
